Gates of Heaven - Danielle Rose

Oh child, my child

Are you going away?

Will you leave on the wings of the morning?

You have heard his voice

You’ve answered the call

But it’s hard, the path you’re making

Will you think of me when the bluebird sings

with the warmth of the sun at its rising?

And if I never see your face again

We will meet at the gates of heaven

Oh, we’ll meet at the gates of heaven

You have given me hope

You’ve given me joy

You have given me more than you’ve taken

And I look at you with my heart in my hands

And you know that this old heart is aching

And I’ll think of you when the roses bloom

With of the sound of a baby laughing

And if I never hear your sweet voice again

We will sing at the gates of heaven

Oh, we’ll sing at the gates of heaven

Walk on, walk on

With the wind at your back

And a prayer for the new life beginning

You’ve been given to me by the good Maker’s hands

Now my gift to the Lord is returning

And I’ll bless your path

With the stars at night

And the smile of the day as it’s dawning

And if I never walk beside you again

We will dance at the gates of heaven

Oh, we’ll dance at the gates of heaven

Oh, we’ll dance at the gates of heaven

Oh, we’ll dance at the gates of heaven
